When you think of entertainers who do it all, certain names

immediately spring to mind such as Sammy Davis Jr., Stevie

Wonder and Prince. Soon however there will be another

name added to that list. For he is an entertainer who truly

does it all!

During the early 80's as a songwriter/guitarist for the

likes of the 4 Tops, Curtis Mayfield, The SOS Band,

The Temptations and Donny Hatheway, he had the

opportunity to quickly soak up a lot of musical history

at a young age.

During those years he was content to use his talents

to assist others in maintaining their well earned

reputations for musical excellence. (He penned

Donny Hatheways' last solo hit entitled

"You Were Meant For Me")

However, in the back of his mind there were always

a desire to step beyond the shadows and into the

spotlight. When he finally did break out, he had

acquired so many skills that he amazed audiences

around the world with his versatility! During that

period in addition to mastering classical and Jazz

guitar, as well as becoming a noted R&B/gospel

vocalist, he picked up and added piano, drums,

harmonica, dance and impressions to his bag

of tricks. Even with all that he still managed to

find time to write the music and lyrics to a

Los Angeles theatrical production entitled

"Claim It', starring Mabel King of "What's Happening"

and "The Wiz" fame.

 He also visually recreated many superstars in

concert such as Ray Charles (whom he portrayed

in the opening ceremonies of Superbowl XXVII,

setting the stage for performances by

Garth Brooks and Michael Jackson). In addition

to Ray there were also tributes to Little Richard,

Stevie Wonders, James Brown, Michael Jackson,

Johnny Mathis, Nat King Cole, M.C. Hammer and

others, quickly  making him one of the most

respected live performers in the business.

Not content with mastering over 200 voices

he still has an eye on presenting his own

inimitable vocal stylings to the public in a

big way! and as he himself will tell you "after that,

the sky's the limit!"
